Saturday March 9, 2013 CJRC Hybrid Japan Innovation Lab Forests, Waters, and Cities: Approaches to the Environment in Japan and Global Contexts An interdisciplinary symposium on the humanities and the environment in Japan and global contexts Location: East Asian Seminar Room (110C), Doheny Memorial Library, USC Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Please RSVP by email to [email protected]

Description: As climate change, resource depletion, and the environment have moved from the margins to the forefront of our concerns in the twenty-first century, those of us engaged in the traditional humanities are increasingly compelled to rethink how we approach our various specializations and disciplines. Japan and China, the main focus of the symposium, present their own unique challenges. Often associated in the popular mind with ideas of living in harmony with nature, Japan and China also include some of the most engineered environments in the world. The symposium brings together scholars from across the humanities, including history, religion, and literature, in order to rethink established or traditional concepts and hopefully stimulate new approaches to talking about the environment in Japan, China, and their global contexts.

About Nikkatsu at 100: A Centennial of Japanese Cinema

On September 10, 2012, Japan’s Nikkatsu Film Studio celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of Japan’s oldest and most acclaimed film studios, the Nikkatsu libraries contain approximately 3,300 film titles, including some of the most important Japanese films from the silent era to the classical period, from the postwar era to the new wave, and up to the present renaissance of Japanese cinema and Nikkatsu Studios. Nikkatsu’s films include period pieces and samurai films, melodramas and youth films, gangster films and “pink” movies, horror films and contemporary blockbusters, with major critical and box offices successes in each of those areas.
